CHA-S favorites

Welcome to a quick peek at my favorite products from the CHA-S show last week. Forgive the lousy photos, but shaky RA hands and bad lighting equals blur. Click on the photos if you would like to see the images in more detail. And I apologize now for spending your money for you. :)

Colored clothespins from Canvas Corp. Doesn’t that line up just make you smile?

Jillibean Soup, Grandma’s Lima Bean Soup. Fun collection. Its like being in your grandma’s attic. Best part, or worst part is, the backsides are just as great as the fronts! Better pick up two of each!

Banner Bites from Jillibean. Super cute. So trendy. I need to bake cupcakes to use these on!

And these wood buttons from Jillibean too. Great size, beautiful patterns.

Hero Arts knocked it out of the park with their holiday stamps. Bold, big sentiments. And I am saying it now, and have been wanting them for some time, BIG IS BACK for sentiments!

Hero Arts/Basic Grey stamp set from the Lucille line. This will be used often on layouts. Its so precious!!

For those of you on the hunt for florist frogs to photograph your cards, search no more! Melissa Frances has several sizes and two colors. Best part about these, more open space between twines, making it easier to display your project.

There you have it, a peek at some of my favorite things from CHA-S. Stop back tomorrow for a look at my favorite Spellbinders Paper Arts products, because, well, there are so many new and wonderful products, they need their own post!

thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I did it. All by myself. I went to CHA. I took things slow. Took lots of breaks. Took a few naps. But, I did it. Yes, there was pain. But that is life now. The trip was so good, not only because of friends and some crazy adventures, but because it proved to me that even in pain, I can still do things. I can still go places. The medications are starting to help me feel better. Less tired. More willing to get out and do things. All positive and incredibly encouraging signs, that I needed. Let’s be honest, while I mostly try to keep my chin up, some days it just stinks. I cry. I pout. I stay in bed. But these glimmers bolster my determination to not let this defeat me. I might be slowed down right now, but not out. :)

Loved seeing the show through your eyes - we have similar tastes in supplies! :) So glad your trip was a good one, despite the difficulties. I'm happy to hear the meds are working and you're feeling a bit better! Onward and upward, my friend! :)
